I can see there being a 2 or maybe more options on new cars in 15 years time, Electric, Hydrogen are the obvious options but maybe synthetic fuel will be an option?
Vehicles with a prolonged charge time and a short battery life will never be a sensible choice if you ever go on longer journeys. Having to stop every 4 hours for an hour or so is never going to work and then dispose of the car after 7 or 8 years because the battery is fooked.

Porsche backed a south American factory to make carbon neutral synthetic fuels which would let them keep manufacturing their ICE vehicles but the cost of a gallon to manufacture was extremely expensive $38/gallon to produce before taxes,
